It's Joanna, from Colorado, back again as your hostess this week. This weekend, we took our annual trek to the local pumpkin patch. Here in Colorado, many pumpkin crops were decimated by hail storm a bit ago. Soo pickings were a bit slim. I am happy to report that we DID find two beautiful pumpkins to bring home. Usually the kids go for the small ones but this year, we have King Kong and his slightly smaller pal to carve. I still can't believe that carving time is not that far away!

And ... can you believe that Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 is celebrating our 100th sketch?!! Where has time gone? Anne is giving out an extra prize this week to celebrate. Yay, two chances to win.

We would also like to remind you that we are looking for a few Guest Designers, If YOU would like to join us in a future challenge please put GDT after your name when you enter.

Don't forget ... our winner from last week will be announced by Anne a bit later.

This week we have Sally-Ann Hancock from Digistamp Boutique sponsoring us. I adore her darling images! Did you know that Sally-Ann releases new sets the second week of each month? This month there are 10 new images. She also has all her Halloween images on sale for 40% off!

I encourage you to check her latest. Here's a bit more about Sally-Ann and her shop:

My work means the world to me - it allows my passion to draw and create, to fit with my family life too, often the inspiration for my designs. Hope you enjoy my images as much as I enjoy creating them.

This week we are offering a £10 voucher to Sally-Ann's store as our prize! Yippee!

and the extra 100th Challenge Prize donated by Anne (thanks Anne!!) is a little festive bundle
